Control Software for Windows

The included graphical control software for Windows offers another way to control the interface via RS-232 in addition to the Simple Instruction Set commands listed on page 3-4. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/ 98, and Windows NT. The RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG use version 2.0 or higher of Extron’s RGB 302/304/202 Control Program, which is included with these interfaces.

Installing the software

The control program is contained on a 3.5-inch diskette, and it can run from the floppy drive. However, it is more convenient to run the program from the hard drive.

To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk, and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program requires approximately 1 MB (megabyte) of hard disk space.

By default the installation creates a C:\RGB302 directory, and it places two icons (RGB 302+304+202 Control Pgm and RGB 302+ 304+202 Help) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Using the software

To run the control program, follow these steps:

1.	Double-click on the RGB 302 + 304 + 202 Control Pgm icon
	in the Extron Electronics group or folder,
	or on the Rgb302.exe icon in the
	C:\RGB302 directory. The Comm menu
	will appear on the screen.
2.	Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s
	RS-232 port. The control software will

“look for” the interface at that port and read its configuration.

The control program window (shown at left) will appear and display current settings.

For information on program features, press the F1 computer key or click on the Help menu from within the control program, or double-click on the RGB 302+304+202 Help icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder.
